Super Moon over Redding

Captured this image of the recent so-called Super Moon from the deck of the Sundial Bridge.

And also took these shots seen below while waiting for the moonrise. The Sundial Bridge never disappoints.sundial-sunset-11-13-16 sundial-sunset-lassen11-13-16

Spectacular natural beauty from the center of our city, available free of charge.

That’s Really Redding.

Rainy day Redding

“Déjà Vu or Corbett’s?”

“Corbett’s. It’s quieter this time of day.”

A snippet of conversation from a blogpost that sounds very Redding. Posting here to give a shout out to this local blog from Everyday Redding.

Everyday Redding blog

Everyday Redding is also a card that offers discounts to local retailers and services. Another cool thing they do is list events that you can enjoy in Redding every weekend. It’s all good stuff.

Nice to see others treat Redding as the destination it has become, rather than just a refueling stop on a busy interstate highway.

Drone imagery of Redding’s Sundial Bridge

Well technically called a UAV for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. Drone imagery of Redding’s Sundial Bridge is presented here as captured by imaging. The use of drones like the DJI are so important when trying to get amazing footage like this. Amateur and professional photographers/ videographers have been in awe of their capabilities for some time and this video vindicates their endorsement.
Beautiful Redding.
 

 
Side note: It’s regrettable that use of drones to shoot real estate videos (or any commercial video) remains illegal in the U.S. except in rare cases. Meanwhile, you can use “hobbiest” UAVs for unpaid imagery like this. The photographic quality has come so far. I would love to use this tool for my home seller clients.

Redding gets a website redesign

The City of Redding has a new government website. CityofRedding.org. The old website looked very much turn-of-the-century in style, and the URL was an awkward ci.redding.ca.gov, or something like that. Anyway, the new site looks more user friendly for touch devices, and has some new features well worth exploring.

I’m on Earth for a photo assignment. Not sure where my next job will be.
